Green Hill Hotel Kobe

... so it was probably for the best!&#12288;Sarah was bloody amazing, it must be said, particularly her medley of album tracks from Avril Lavigne that no one had heard of! The night ended up a bit messy with Richard and Mike (who had inexplicably adopted a scoottish accent for the final two hours of the night!) wrestling for what seemed like hours on the floor outside the karaoke bar which was a bit weird but a good memory in retrospect.<br><br>Anyway, as you can imagine, the ...

... They brought the steak out on a hot skillet and literally in flames. The meat wasn't fully cooked when it came out so it sat on the skillet and cooked in front of me till I decided to eat it at the perfect temperature for me. It was the most tender and juicy piece of steak I have ever had, and I've had a lot of good steaks before. That was the essence of my time in Japan and it was great. I was really amazed with Japan like I was with South Africa ...

... of that, my lunch was salmon fish head with terriyaki sauce and my seafood teppanyaki for dinner are all fantastic. Yummy! Oh! I've shopped for whole day looking for ukata, but couldn't find in the city. Hopefully I could still get in from the hotel tommorrow before we depart. Though slightly ...

... here? My best guess is that it's a blend of tradition and the fact that the weather is so consistent and typical throughout each. Far different from Melbourne. In Winter, you knew it was really Winter because it was so bitterly freezing every single day. And likewise, this Summer has brought a non stop stream of sunshine and stifling humidity, which I know will not let up until the end of this month when we are hit by Autumn and the next seasonal fever.

Nick - Confession to make, today we got up pretty damn late. Well, I slept until 11 and Ely wasn't in a hurry to go anywhere so by the time we were fed and organised we only had the afternoon to play with. Still, we didn't feel too guilty as all the other days had been jammed packed with activities. We decided that our afternoon could best be rescued with a trip to the nearby town of Kobe which Kevin and his friends had gone to see fairly recently and recommended ...

... time our legs were about to mutiny and we decided to call it a day and head home. We planned to leave the following day at the same time (9.15am) but by this time, everyone but myself was still in bed. I let them sleep, I figured they needed it. So we got a later start than planned but it all worked out in the end because we stayed a little later in the day and I was able to see the 'illuminations' at one of the temples. Today I tried on a kimino! It was very ...

... ourselves from laughing...needless to say though that we got the family discount!! I also went back to Minoh National Park this week b/c, apparently, with the leaves changing colors it's totally different and it definitely was. It was beautiful there, the pics tell it all. (see photos from two entries previous) I have run out of books to read, but found a pub with a book exchange, but, unfortunately, the selection is very limited. I grabbed an Anne Rice book, Tale of the ...
